Saturday change to schedule

Hi Folks
 
Both Mustang games that were scheduled for this coming Saturday had originally been postponed so that EJ's team mates who wish to attend the service for Coach Ernie could go.

Coach Richard has been working hard in the background to try to make this work for everyone so here is the revised schedule:
Saturday 26th 10:00 am - Clover Park School - Game Vs. Rainiers - Please try to be there no later than 9:15 so that Coach Richard can get the team organized.
Saturday 26h 3:00 pm -
Fir Lane Memorial Park  (Click for Map) - Service for Coach Ernie.

I have discussed this through with Coach Richard and we both agree that this is the best decision given how much Coach Ernie was part of that Mustang team.  For those of you who would like to attend the service, Ernie's family have extended the invitation to all.  The one request is that team members attend in full uniform to show recognition of how much Coach Ernie belonged to that team and how much he loved baseball.  Many of you will have known Ernie over his years helping with the Green Hornets team and, more recently with the Warthogs.  Ernie's time with the Warthogs was brief...way too short, but in that time I feel he contributed a lot to the players.  I wish I had known Ernie for a longer time, but even in the few months that I did get to work with Ernie I warmed to his energy, enthusiasm and great humor.  I will miss him.   This is a difficult time for everyone, but as Coach Richard rightly put it..."This is a time for EJ's friends on the team to be there for him".
 
Not that we need convincing, but to reflect Ernie's love of the game, his family have asked for any donations to go to the Lakewood Baseball Club for the benefit of the boys.  I have already contacted the club about this and arranged for getting the donations to them.
 
Details of the service on Saturday:
Fir Lane Memorial Park - Spanaway - 3:00pm Saturday April 26th.

Thank you all for your understanding and our warmest wishes go out to EJ and all of Ernie's family.
